Chapter 737
However, it was evident Mister Zimmer had lost his shape. He had a beer belly, and when he smiled, she could see
a layer of yellow taint on his teeth.
"Come, Miss Clark—a toast." Mister Zimmer raised his glass.
Catelyn hesitated and said, "I'm sorry, Mister Zimmer. I've had an allergy lately, and the doctor says I can't
consume alcohol."
"It's just one glass. Are you really going to refuse me?" Mister Zimmer lowered his tone dangerously.
She spotted a teapot on the table and immediately reached out to pour herself a cup of tea. "Mister Zimmer,
please allow me to drink tea instead. I really can't drink alcohol; my face will be filled with red bumps and marks if I
do. I can't look like that out here..."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHer smile was blinding and alluring in a way that resembled a blooming flower.
Mister Zimmer nodded, reluctant to take his eyes off Catelyn even as he did so.
Catelyn gulped down two cups of tea in front of Mister Zimmer; the fragrance of the tea lingered on the tip of her
tongue.
Mister Zimmer watched as she swallowed the tea and rubbed his chin with a calculative look in his eyes. "Very well.
You're a straightforward person, Miss Clark. I heard from Maribel that you managed to close a deal with Deluxe?"
Catelyn nodded. "I was just lucky."
"You're good-looking and are willing to do what it takes to succeed. That's your power. How could you simply dismiss
it as luck?" Mister Zimmer's smile widened.
Maribel had mentioned to him that Catelyn even offered to let Windy have her husband for a few days just to close
the deal. His heart fluttered as he reached out to rest his hand on Catelyn's thigh to touch her.
Alarmed, she immediately took a step back as she tried her best to suppress the urge to splash the tea onto his
face.
"Mister Zimmer, let's just start eating. We still need to discuss our collaboration."
"There's no need for that," he said. "Stay with me tonight and satisfy me; you won't face any issues with the
inspection."
Her expression darkened. "You’ve got it all wrong, Mister Zimmer. I'm not a prostitute."
"Maribel told me how you closed the deal with Deluxe. We don't have to pretend here."
Catelyn realized splashing his face with the tea would be a waste and thought to herself, it's no wonder that Maribel
took the initiative to make an appointment with the inspector. This is what she's plotting.'
She took her purse and turned to leave. "If you have no interest in conversing properly, we should postpone this
discussion to another day."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"What's the hurry?" Mister Zimmer immediately stood in her way to stop her from leaving.
"Get out of my way!" she hissed when suddenly, she felt as though the world was turning upside down before her
eyes. 'How is this possible? I only drank tea!'
She turned to look at her cup with disbelief.
Mister Zimmer grinned from ear to ear as a wretched expression appeared on his face. "You're a smart one, Miss
Clark, but that's precisely why you failed. Maribel told me that you won't drink alcohol with me, so I drugged the
tea..."
All strength was drained from Catelyn's limbs as she shook her head frantically to try and stay awake.
Mister Zimmer grabbed a black box from his bag excitedly and took out a pill from it, before swallowing it. Soon, his
face was flushed as he approached Catelyn, and she could even see his veins pulsing under his skin.
"Don't be afraid. I'm always gentle to beautiful women!"
Outside the room, Maribel had been hiding at the corner of the corridor with her hands on her phone, waiting for
the chance to barge in to take photos of what was happening inside.
There was no denying that she had worked with her relatives and committed embezzlement, she had thought that
it was over for her until she received a phone call from Quinn.
